I feel like there will never be a total cure. I feel like it will be like what an addict goes through. Like this is something I will have to worry about the rest of my days.
My illness didn't just slip up on me like some kid wanting to be thin. I am not dissing anyone who has devoloped the illness this way because I'm sure its just as devasting, but I remember the day and time my illness started. It was exactualy the time I was assaulted. I did not know it at the time what was wrong with me except I wouldn't eat and starved myself. Of cource I found out later that with the PTSD and depression and I had developed the disorder.
There has been so many rumors going on about me. The most common one is that I have cancer and I'm dying from it. There has been so many people come to the house to talk with Snakeman and offer there help since I supposedly have cancer. The one that takes the cake is a guy that showed up with flowers to offer his condolence to Snakeman since he said he was out of town and just found out I had died and he was sorry he had missed the service.
I guess in peoples eyes that is something that they can understand. Since I broke the story a couple of years ago about the "AROREXIA" {after the whole cancer ordeal} there has not been one person that has been to the house to offer any help or prayers. This has been the one of many negative acts in my recovery. Snakeman is pretty famous around here and is known by many people for his snake shows and the nuromous shows he puts on here on the property. I am sure this is why he has gotton so many people wanting to concole him. Anorexia just shows you the prejudice that surrounds this illness. Its not contagious guys.
Beside being stared at like I was a crack addicted meth head{or whatever they are calling the dope this week} one of the worse parts was to buy cloths I had to shop in the childrens dept.
There is another rumor going around our small community that is rather humorous. The rumor is I am a lisenced vet. People show up all the time with sick or injured animals begging for my help. I can sorta see how this rumor got started since I am always treating or nursing a animal back to health. I guess the cancer rumor got started because of my weight lose and the way I looked.
To anyone that may be suffering with this problem just remember that there is "HOPE." For such a small word it has a huge meaning.
Remember one thing and it will get you over the rough spots,
negative talk is cheap.
its the talk from positive folk that goes the longest way in a recovery.
I am truely sorry you have had to endure this for so long.
I am very happy to hear you are at a turning point, the weight gain is a huge step.
And might I add you are definately stronger than you are giving your self credit for.
it takes amazing strength to come out and say you have a problem and it take incredible strength to pull ones self out of such a place.
Good on YOU .

Sara,
Congrats on the progress you are making. You have been in my prayers since we first corresponded all those many months ago. I am proud of you and glad you have Snakeman there for you to support and love you.
Just remember you are not alone, you have people who care for you and are willing to support you through whatever.
Now did someone mention a party with cake and ice cream?
HMMMMM, I don't care if it is Lent, I want some!

Thank you for the courage you took in sharing this so publicly. I think you will see the benefits, but you're probably also helping others that you aren't even aware of.
Keep it up!

This is funny because it does sound like I'm counting something. I myself have way more birds. That is why I don't understand why I did starve myself. I have so much life around me. This just shows how powerful the illness is.
You know that I am always here , if you need to talk.
You are doing great and I know you will get through this.

oh congrats!!!! 102 and 103 are not far behind!!!!! What happened to you is terrible but you have found a way to help others with your struggles and that is very comendable! Many dont see it as a disease but it is its not something easily fixable and once it gets a hold of you it gets really hard. I seems to me that you fought your attacker and are fighting this disease and that whether you think it or not you are a VERY strong and Brave woman.
Blessings to you for your strength and courage to go public!! I think once people understand something their whole attitude changes and they are more than willing to help in whatever way they can. YOU don't realize the good you are doing by talking about it either, to help other people with the same thing!! Good for you!!!!! Whoever said throw Confetti, I triple that!!!!!
